I watched it yesterday. It is very authentic and all so familiar that it gave me renewed appreciation for being free from all the control.

Review: Apostasy
by neat blue dog instan's recent post about the apostasy movie reminded me that i had watched it last month, so i thought i'd write a review.
please note this will probably contain some spoilers so if you care about that sort of thing hold off on reading this.. first i want to say that this is probably one of the most if not the most accurate and reasonable cinematic portrayals of jws.
however here is a list of little inaccuracies: an outdated view that preaching to all the world can 'make' the end come, jesus briefly portrayed with long hair, judicial reinstatement meetings being called "guidance meetings", a normal weekly public talk being introduced as "the first in a series of talks he's prepared for us", applause at the end of a local needs part, and a jw saying of god "you need to earn his love, it's conditional" ( i know this is basically true in practice but they'd rarely say it out loud).

Blonde Jokes
by Bangalore inblonde jokes.. two blondes went to the pound where each adopted a puppy.
the joy of their new best friend was quickly overshadowed when they got home and the first blonde said, "i think we're in trouble, how are we going to tell them apart?
" this lead to several hours of concentration until finally, the second blonde said, "i've got an idea.

I remember hearing Irish jokes years ago and when we moved to Spain discovered the exact same jokes were used about the Argentinians.
These jokes can be used against anyone the joke teller wants to denigrate and belittle or perhaps make himself feel superior to.
If it's Jimmy Carr telling them tho......:p

I was already POMI when I read CoC although with lots of niggling doubts. Ray Franz book was like scales falling from my eyes but more. The guilt and fear left.
Don Cameron's book was affirmation I was free and I enjoyed it immensely.

Russia=King of the North, USA=King of the South? New info coming in from Annual Meeting 2018
by Jules Saturn init was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!

Any announcement about identifying Russia as King of the North is neither new nor exclusive to JWs.
Jehovah's speeding chariot is severely lagging behind the opinions of scholars and churches.

The current GB/overlapping GB will go back behind the curtain as exposure has made the r & f realise they are following men and contempt will set in.
Numbers will decline in the West and they will go back to meeting in houses
Door to door preaching will stop completely
Paradise will be spiritual and figurative
Armageddon will become your own personal one at death and invisible
Everyone will partake of the emblems
The religion will be all electronic with KHs obsolete and just assemblies and conventions twice a year.
The blood doctrine will become a conscience matter and so will shunning
Birthdays and Xmas will also become conscience matters
They will become so mainstream they will differ very little from other surviving religions which will also be in decline

Here in UK you can get exjw license plates. I nearly bought one when Stan Livedeath bought his. I'm sure when he sees this thread he will post a photo.

They don't want them to last. It is an eye opening experience having an earlier edition of something later revised. Reading along using my old Revelation book with someone else reading a " new light" version Revelation book I saw stuff had to be changed because it hadn't come true. Isn't that false prophesy?
I didn't understand why no one else saw it.

Rutherford et al when in court defending the organisation is well documented in their literature. But not this. I wonder why?

Information control much
Scared of molestation cases broadcast by msm and "stumbling" the faithful out perhaps?
